✨ A little business update ✨

Over the next few months, you’ll probably notice there will be fewer memory bear posts on the page.

I’ll still be making bears, and I still absolutely love creating something so special from treasured clothing, but I’m keeping my bear bookings limited up to Christmas so I can give myself a little more space to get creative and explore even more of the things I love making. 🧵🪡

I really do love all things creative — sewing, embroidery, personalised gifts, trying new ideas and bringing those ideas to life — so alongside the bears, you’re going to start seeing a much wider mix of creations appearing on here.

And there’s another exciting change coming too… 👀

Over the next few weeks, the business will be getting a new name. ✨

It feels like the right time for the name to reflect how the business is growing beyond just memory bears and into so many more creative things.

It’s still me, still handmade, still created with lots of love — just with a little more room to grow, experiment and create. 💕

Thank you so much for continuing to support my little business and for coming along on this journey with me.

I’m really excited for this next chapter… and I can’t wait to show you what’s coming. ❤️✨

It’s definitely been all about the embroidery here for the last couple of days 🧵✨

I’ve finally had the chance to sit down, properly play with the software and learn just how much I can create with it… and I’m a little bit obsessed 😂💕

From personalised workwear and beautiful embroidered designs, to your own handwriting turned into a keepsake, there are so many possibilities.

I’m really excited to be able to offer more bespoke gifts, keepsakes and personalised items, all created right here by me. ❤️

Lots of experimenting still going on behind the scenes… but I think this could be the start of something rather lovely 🥰🧵

I’m now offering machine embroidered handwriting swatches — a beautiful way to preserve the actual handwriting of someone special and turn it into something you can keep forever.

These can be created from a handwritten note, card or message and stitched onto a fabric swatch in your chosen shape and colour.

Perfect for adding inside a wedding dress as your “something blue”, or for memory bears, cushions, quilts, clothing and other keepsakes.

There’s something so special about keeping their exact words and handwriting with you — not recreated in a font, but taken from the real handwriting itself and transformed into embroidery. 💙

If you have a piece of handwriting you’d love turned into a keepsake, just message me and I can have a look at what’s possible.

Real words. Real memories. Stitched with love. 🧵💙

9pm Finally finished! ✨🧵

Sewing room tidied, everything back where it belongs… and I am officially clocking off for the weekend 😂🙌

Now to enjoy that lovely “nothing else needs doing in here” feeling… while it lasts! 🤣💗

Happy weekend everyone 💕

See you soon,

✨ From Prom Night to a Forever Keepsake… ✨

This beautiful unicorn has been lovingly handcrafted from a prom dress worn in 2010.

Although the dress looked full and flowing, there was actually very little usable fabric for the larger pattern pieces. That meant every cut had to be carefully planned to make the most of every precious scrap.

The original pleated bodice has been recreated across the unicorn’s chest, the luxurious velvet has been added to highlight the ears, muzzle and hooves, and even the dress linings have been incorporated to ensure as much of the original dress as possible lives on in this keepsake.

Plenty of hand sewing beads, carefully placing them one by one to preserve the sparkle and elegance of the original gown.

No two memory keepsakes are ever the same. Every garment presents its own challenges, but that’s all part of creating something truly unique—giving treasured clothing a new life while preserving the memories stitched into every thread.

I hope this unicorn will be treasured for many years to come and always bring back memories of a very special night. 🦄💖

What special item of clothing would you love to see transformed into a keepsake?

✨ Every stitch tells a story…

Today’s job has been all about transforming precious prom memories into something that can be hugged and cherished for years to come.

What surprises many people is that, although a prom dress looks full of fabric, there often isn’t as much usable material as you’d think. The beautiful tulle and embellished sections are stunning to look at, but they can’t always be used for the larger pattern pieces.

So today’s challenge has been making the most of every scrap—using the dress linings to recreate the elegant pleated bodice while carefully saving the embellished details for where they’ll have the biggest impact.

It’s a bit like solving a puzzle… finding a way to honour the original dress while creating something completely new.

I can’t wait to show you how this one comes together. 🩷🧸

🧸 Behind the scenes at Stitch in Time Bears…

For the next couple of weeks, I’ll be head down creating five handmade memory bears, each one lovingly made from a much-missed Grandad’s clothing. ❤️

This special order includes a wonderful mix of shirts, pyjamas, a jacket, trousers and a dressing gown, all of which will be carefully transformed into beautiful keepsake bears for his family to treasure for generations.

Being trusted to create memory bears from loved ones’ clothing is something I never take for granted. Every stitch is sewn with care, knowing these are far more than pieces of fabric—they’re precious memories.

I’ll be sharing little updates as these handmade memory bears come to life, so keep an eye on the page over the next few weeks. 🧵🐻

If you’re thinking about having a memory bear, memory quilt or another keepsake made from a loved one’s clothing, please feel free to send me a message. I create bespoke keepsakes for families across the UK.
